Let's try something bigger this time.

A commonly known task developers generally come across for sure, in their coding tenure, is working with the REST APIs.

these APIs. We can go through so many online materials available these days that can share ins and outs of the REST
architecture, but what we want is to save time and get the code working. So here we set the stage for this discussion.

What I am going to follow is an approach that will pick 4 commonly asked-for HTTP methods - POST, GET, PUT, DELETE
(for Create, Read, Update and Delete respectively), with a few bonus code snippets for you - using AJAX for making calls
from the JSPs and our very own Mr. Popular - Hibernate. This will make you get your hands dirty, over the journey, with
database related tasks using Hibernate and MySQL workbench.

The above plan is not going to cost you anything, but it demands satisfactory code writing and mind-boggling for behind Acclaim

1. Do we have DB ready?

Send

Make good use of MySQL workbench and have a local schema up and available with your table that you wish to use further.

Here, we have 'myEmployees' under 'namit_schema' and the table records will be impacted by the CRUD UI operations.

3. Can we create layers of abstraction and logic segregation?

Why not. As a good practice, have atleast 3 layers (especially for enterprise app projects). Here we can have Service
Classes <-> Facade Layers <-> DAO Layers.

EmployeeService.java 

This class will provide you the API declarations and will help in providing endpoints per various http methods.

ServiceFacade.java - 

This class acts as an intermediate step while passing data from front end to the backend and vice versa. It can be
advantageous if we need to alter the request/ response as per destination methods.

Since we are using Hibernate for DB access, I wanted to have a common place for Hibernate connection, hence following
class came into the picture.

HibernateConnector.java

package com.connectors;

import org.hibernate.HibernateException;

import org.hibernate.Session;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class HibernateConnector {

private static HibernateConnector hibConn;

private Configuration cfg;

private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

private HibernateConnector() throws HibernateException {

cfg = new Configuration();

cfg.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");

cfg.addResource("employee.hbm.xml");

sessionFactory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();

}
 public static synchronized HibernateConnector getInstance() throws HibernateException {

if (hibConn == null) {

hibConn = new HibernateConnector();

return hibConn;

public Session getSession() throws HibernateException {

Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();

if (!session.isConnected()) {

this.reconnect();

return session;

private void reconnect() throws HibernateException {

this.sessionFactory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();

Once you have your code in place, your project folder structure may look somewhat like this -
Please ignore the com.ignore package, it was just for created to see some if-else flows, I came across in an interview for a
big investment firm. Have a look if that interests you, I will share more of such questions if someone needs.
Anyway, coming back to our quest, now we have the code ready, I mean from APIs perspective.

Have a look at the javadocs for service class, you will get an idea what API to hit, to check the response directly through
the browser.

Well that's said, now its time to try some UI related stuff to make you proficient at both backend as well as front end.

What I have came across so far is that majority of java developers are assigned evaluation projects during onboarding
times, to come up with APIs and UI to consume them.

So the below section of the discussion will help you to get a taste of such assignment.

Have a jsp as follows -
